With the Refuge, we have a unique opportunity to reach the subculture of the underground music of the youth. We recently hosted Musician’s Hour, which is a music night for professional musicians to come together and fellowship and hear about Jesus. Many of these paid musicians are playing in nightclubs and bars, and with our ministry we are able to be a life line to these bands that would normally never be accepted in a traditional church. We encourage them to play their loud music and showcase their talents to each other, but we unashamedly preach the Word of God and the Gospel to them.

The Refuge Goes On
February 20, 2012 by
During the past few months, despite going through a paralyzing time, the Refuge is still running. The Bible and Missions training there graduated their first class of students and Edge Radio is still holding public events there. We are also having evangelistic film viewings.
One of the biggest challenges we have at the Refuge is a lack of equipment. Every time we hold an event, we have to borrow two or three guitar amplifiers, instruments, a LCD projector, drum cymbals, etc. We also have no furniture for our huge downstairs fellowship area. We are hoping to convert the downstairs into a coffee house where youth can come at all hours to study, have fellowship, and receive counseling. We are also hoping to remodel the upstairs with some acoustic foam to help with the deafening reverb during the concerts.
James 4:2 says, “You have not because you ask not.” Well, I’m asking now for help. We immediately need a LCD projector, amplifiers, guitars, and a new drum kit. We also need to furnish our downstairs so we can have a place for the youth to hang out. I envision having a coffee bar with lots of furniture, games, and for it to be a fun place.
With your help, we can transform this place into a greater soul-winning machine with ongoing discipleship and change happening in the hearts of the youth of this city.
